The peoaxing House of Lords.

Il striking estimate of the probable
duration of the existence of the house OF
lords was given by Lord Napier of Mag
dala to the tallow chambers. AS long, ="
said his lordship, Gas the house Of lords
numbers among it's members such men as
Lord BeacOnsfeld, Lord Te1nyson and
Lord Shaftesbury believe it will continue
to retain the confidence of the British
people, AS the house no longer numbers
among its members Lord Beaconsfield or
Lord Shaftesbury, it appears that in Lord
Napier's estimation it has already lost
twO-thirds of the confidence of the people,
and if the other third is to be measured by
the attendance Of Lord Tennyson, the
light of the house Of lords must be waxing
almost as dim as that shed by the tallow
chambers themselves.-Lon Truth.

Flowers of Norway.

The roofs of many of the houses are
covered with turf for warmth, and you
see upon them frequently quite a garden
of flowers which have sprung up. Some
times there ere even small trees Many
of the flowers in Norway remind one, as
indeed the whole landscape frequently
does, Of New England. You see the dan
deion. the buttercup, the gentian and va
rious other familiar flowers in the fields.
In their windows, both in town and
country, the Ncrwegians have @ wealth
OF flowers that sets you wondering how.
they can raise them in such beauty end
profusion. I presume the absence Of fur
naces and gas has much to Go with their
success as horticulturists.- GEORGE

A New Ting in safe Locks.

A new electric perturbation safe lock
has just been patented by 4 Chicagoan,
which differs materially from all other
safe locks in the fact that there IL no orr
fee to speak OF in the door of the safe.
The dial, which is such d conspicuous feat
ure on the ordinary safe, has no cOnnec-
ton in this invention, except by electric
wires, with the body OF the safe, and may
lie on the cashiers desk or repose securely
in his home, free from any possible VIC
lence of the burglars hammer.
There is, in fact, no limit to the dis
tance that may intervene between the dial
and the safe lock, granted that the con
nection is satisfactory and the battery suf-
fciently strong. 4 safe might perfectly
well rest in a Chicago o.lica and only be
opened by means OF q dial in New York.
The mechanism IS very simple. The dial
rests in a magnetic block, from which
wires extend and communicate with mag
nets which set up the tumblers in the
lock, and SO permit Of the throwing back
of the bolt bar. This releases q spring or
body Of compressed air, as the case may
be, which in turn releases the heavy bolt
work. The wires penetrate the top plate
of the safe at the lamb Of the door and
move in a zig-zal5 course through the
inner plates to the lock. The wires are
SO small and their course so crooked that

tanned from several small batteries by
pressing down a key on the vulcanite
block that holds the dial. The dial, when
not in use, can be detached from the vul-
canite block and carried in the pocket.
The door of safe whose lock is controlled
by this electric apparatus will present to

saturdays Amateur Entertainment

Space prevents an extended notice of
the amateur performance last Saturday
night at the Hawaiian Opera House. 1t
is sufficient to say that it passed off very
successfully. The audience was one of
the largest and most appreciative that
ever greeted an amateur entertainment
in this city. Not seat was vacant in
the auditorium, and when the curtain
fell at the close the prevalent feeling was
one of satisfaction and delight. The
first part was entirely new, several of
the songs being encored. A banjo solo
was accorded a double encore. The
Japanese pole trick was an immense sue
cess; and the absurd local scare over
Chun Hook, opium fend and sneak
thief, was humorously burlesqued.
There will be final performance by the
amateurs next Saturday evening, of
which full particulars will be given in
due course. This will be acceptable
news to the public.

handful with like success. The sand
pump being raised about that time, q
portion of its contents were emptied
directly into the wash basin and
taken to the ditch and washed out
when there was more gold in this thar
